A large number of Instagram users have been adding codes like o22 and o45 to their profiles recently. Although the codes first appeared on Instagram Notes, they are now being featured in TikTok videos as well. The codes are spotted frequently and all those who have seen them are eager to know the meaning behind the same.

In this latest trend, users can create a new Note with a secret code. It represents a particular letter of the alphabet, which is the initial of the first name of the user's crush. It has been described as a way to reveal that an individual has a crush on someone, without sharing too many details.

Other social media trends that have recently gone viral

Earlier this month, a teaser trailer for the upcoming Barbie movie was released, leading to the birth of a new Barbie filter on Instagram. The filter saw an individual appear on top of a star shape that had a shimmering bright color.

There was also an option to change the color to pink, green, red, yellow, orange, blue, or purple. While the iconic Barbie track played in the background, the filter told the user what kind of character they were. Social media users can also try a similar Ken filter.
